Restorative Yoga Classes

Yin classes or Yin inspired classes are wonderful for helping you slow your pace and focus on your breath. In Yin, we hold poses for longer periods of time and treat ourselves to feeling the earth beneath us. This class will slow you down and also help to move and decompress the spine, this sequence would work great after a twisting focused class. We would consider this class to fall into the beginner level suited for most all students. Poses include Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog), Malasana (Yogi Squat), Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold), Seal Pose and more. As always practice safely. Enjoy!

Remember, Yin yoga is a slow paced style of yoga in which poses are held for longer periods of time. Usually poses are held for about 5 minutes each in a Yin sequence. I guess you could say that Yin is in the same family as Restorative, so if you're looking to move slow, focus on unwinding and controlling your breath then this class should do the trick. As we slow our breath, we also slow or minds and present the chance to let go of tension. Naturally, this class will work well for beginners with it's slow pace and very grounded postures. As with most Yin or Restorative classes, props can be helpful. In this class, a blanket, and two blocks will come in handy. Poses include a variety of resorative postures including Balasana (Child's Pose), Supported Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose), Jathara Parivartanasana (Supine Twists) and more.
